Puente Hills Landfill Stops Accepting Waste, Continues Material Recovery Management And Energy Capture

After 56 years of operation, the Puente Hills Landfill permanently closes on Halloween of 2013.

Although the landfill no longer accepts waste, the site continues to house critical materials recovery management and energy facilities—including the region’s largest gas-to-energy capture plant, generating enough power for roughly 70,000 homes.
